EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map locating the mythical island of Atlantis, as depicted in the 17th-century work Mundus Subterraneus by Athanasius Kircher. The intricate details and elaborate design of this map transport viewers to a time when explorers sought out the fabled land lost beneath the waves. Athanasius Kircher, a renowned Jesuit scholar and polymath, delved into various subjects including geology, astronomy, and mythology. In his ambitious work Mundus Subterraneus, he theorized about subterranean worlds and hidden civilizations, with Atlantis being one of his most intriguing subjects. The map itself is a testament to Kircher's meticulous research and imaginative vision. It features intricate illustrations of sea creatures, ships navigating treacherous waters, and mysterious symbols that hint at the enigmatic nature of Atlantis. The placement of the island on the map adds to its allure - situated in an unknown location surrounded by uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this historical artifact brought to life through photography, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with lost lands and ancient mysteries. The legend of Atlantis continues to captivate our imagination centuries after its first mention by Plato. This print serves as a tangible link to that timeless tale, inviting us to explore its secrets once more.
